CommonSide Effects of Bontril
There are possible side effects with Bontril, even though many people may not experience any problems. Hyperactivity, blurred vision, and insomnia are some of the common side effects that some people experience with Bontril. If you experience serious side effects like forceful or rapid heart beats, signs of an allergic reaction, and if you feel the need to take the medication more often than is prescribed, talk with your healthcare providers immediately.
Possible side effects are common with almost every medicine, and Bontril (phendimetrazine) is not an exception. Nevertheless, side effects do not generally affect everyone who takes Bontril.
Some, but not all possible side effects with Bontril are discussed in this article. Ask your healthcare provider to discuss a more complete list of side effects that you may experience with Bontril.
Frequent Side Effects of Bontril
Much careful research and tests have been done on the side effects that one group of people experience while taking Bontril and other tests were conducted in people who did not take the medicine. The results showed what side effects occurred and how often they appeared, and how they compared to the group of people that did not take Bontril. Consequently, because Bontril is an older medication, the percentage of frequency that the side effects occurred is not available, but with newer medicines those results are obtainable.

* Insomnia

The side effects of Bontril listed in this article may or may not affect you; however, it is not always easy to know if a particular side effect, such as nausea is only caused by Bontril or by other factors.

It may not be a side effect of Bontril, it might be something that just does not feel right, but your healthcare provider can diagnose and treat the problem.
